I have strong feeling that the version you use doesn't have bridging support for your card driver. I'm using bridging from day-to-day under -current system with fxp cards, but the -stable should work as well. Does the card driver source include something like: #include "opt_bdg.h" #include "bdg.h" I see that most netcard drivers under -current have the 'opt_bdg.h' line, but if I remember it was 'bdg.h' some time ago. Even if the includes are present I can't guarantee anything :-), but it's certainly worth of checking. You can find the PCI card driver sources under /usr/src/sys/pci and I'm almost sure that the file should be if_tx.c or smthg. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
